Error: Couldn't resolve version spec %s: %s
sapics opened this issue · comments
First of all, thank you very much for very useful application!
Now I got an error in nodeist@0.8.2 in Windows 8.1.
I have installed node with version 4.4.7 with nodist.
When I command node in the directory, then I got an error Sorry, there's a problem with nodist. Couldn't resolve version spec %s: %s >=4.0.0 <7.0.0 improper constraint: >=4.0.0 <7.0.0.
The directory have package.json file which includes key "engines": {"node": ">=4.0.0 <7.0.0"}, it might make problem.
When I removed the line "engines": {"node": ">=4.0.0 <7.0.0"}, then the command node works well.
same issue.
Colleagues of mine also having the same issue on Windows 10. Removing <7 solved it for them: "engines": {"node": ">=4"} should work until this is resolved.
Mh. That's a bug in the semver lib for the shims.
As an intermediate fix you can override local switching with env switching: you can set the desired version using nodist env x.x.x

Thank you @marcelklehr !
nodist env 4.4.7 works in my PC!
Current progress on this issue: I've fixed the underlying library https://github.com/marcelklehr/semver and will release a new version soon.
@marcelklehr: thank you
I've just released v0.8.3, which has the fix for this.
Thanks @marcelklehr!
It works!
Issue still persists with engines": {"node": ">=6.1 <7"} set in package.json. Complete reinstalls of version 0.8.3 on Win7 and Win10 on several machines 😞
Sorry, there's a problem with nodist. Couldn't resolve node version spec %s: %s >=6.1 <7 improper constraint: >=6.1 <7
@marcelklehr, sorry my miss report.
I had already removed engines from package.json in my project.
As @JackCuthbert pointed, the problem have not fixed yet.
Indeed. This bug is not dead, yet (TM). My Bad: I didn't upgrade the aforementioned dependency on my windows machine, thus 0.8.3 still uses the old version of semver and I'm preparing the release of 0.8.4 :)
This should be finally fixed in 0.8.4 (and the latest v0.8.5). Reopen at will. Cheers!
Not sure if it's directly connected to this, but here goes:
Tried to install typescript and then execute tsc -v (or anything else starting with tsc and I get only this:

Hey @Mikk36, could you enable debug output with set DEBUG=nodist:*, please?

Deleted .node-version file, problem gone.
@Mikk36 You probably ran nodist local --help at some point. If there is still a .node-version-global in the same directory, then you should be good.
